had a prescription from your doc, went home, read about the side effects and decided not to take it because they scared the lights out of you?
If so, what's the name of the medication?
Gabapentine 300 PCH

I've done that before. But not with a treatment for a serious condition. If I was prescribed medication for something serious and read what you did, I would call the doctor and ask about the warnings. In the back of my mind I would also keep in mind that the warnings - dramatically stated - are usually the result of past lawsuits from consumer groups that accuse pharmaceuticals of not saying enough of side effects, so now they say so much that you want to flush them down the toilet and envision a passing fish mutating into a monster. Your concerned, so call the doctor. That's the best path.

Not ME but my Wife has.
can't remember the drug, but the list of what it was suppose to correct was like 2 items long
the list of 'potential side effects' was like 20 items long.
The side effects were worse then the cure... what's up with THAT
I know what Dr. Bones from Star Trek would say...
"Damm medievalism!!!"
For all our "Medical advances" I think our drugs are very primitive...they often fix one thing and break another.
I thought Doctors took an oathe to "do no harm"???

if i did that i would never take any medication. side effects are things that could happen, not things that will happen. if we lived our lives by what if then we wouldn't be living would we. i won't mix certain meds if my doctor or the pharmacist tell me not to but otherwise, i try to trust me doctor, and not worry bout the little stuff
